Low-noise fluxgate magnetometer with increased operating temperature range

摘要

In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may include synchronic symmetrical integrator circuitry and a magnetic field measurement device comprising an excitation circuit including an excitation coil, the excitation coil being wound around an amorphous soft magnetic core having a certain temperature coefficient such that inductance of the excitation circuit will change with temperature variations of the amorphous soft magnetic core; a detection circuit including a detection coil, the detection coil being wound around the same amorphous soft magnetic core, such that inductance variation of the detection circuit with temperature of the core can be detected from the excitation coil; and a resonation control circuit coupled to the excitation circuit and to the detection circuit to adjust a resonant frequency of the detection circuit responsive to temperature variations of the core. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
